Pre-2009 and post-2009 Madurai certificates
Older Madurai couples usually hold a certificate issued by the Sub-Registrar under the Hindu marriage registration rules that applied before 2009. It looks different, but it is a valid public record and MEA apostilles it.
After the Tamil Nadu Registration of Marriages Act, 2009, registration became compulsory for every faith, and certificates took a newer printed format with Tamil and English text.
Couples married at Thiruparankundram or the Meenakshi Amman temple often keep only the temple receipt. Register the marriage with the Sub-Registrar to get an apostille-ready certificate – late registration is allowed.
If the old certificate is brittle, request a certified copy from the Sub-Registrar’s register.
